WordPress Update

We plan to update WordPress on June 2nd; the system will remain “up” during this process which should take less than a half hour before 9am ET that day. This is an incremental update that fixes bugs and introduces very few new features.

In addition to updates to the WordPress codebase, we will also make updates to some plugins and themes

Plugin Updates

The following plugins will be updated:

Authors Widget

Exclude Pages from Navigation

Geo Mashup

NextGEN Gallery

We have been testing the new versions of these plugins and do not anticipate any change in your use or administration of the blog but wanted to let you know.

Theme Updates

The following themes will have updated versions:

ShadowBox

Translucence

Blue Landscape

Classics

Please try out the new version of your theme as soon as you are able and let us know if you have problems/questions. We’ll automatically update all blogs to the new theme versions sometime in the last 2 weeks of August.
